IV、练习提升
(I)阅读理解
A
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned tom e showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generator s rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that Al generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
1. What does the writer think of his image creation
A. Exciting. B. Appealing. C. Unsatisfying. D. Shocking.
2. What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A. The creating process. B. The final work. C. Personal feelings. D. External forms.
3. What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. The styles of human artworks and AI ones.
B. Human artists’ influence on AI generators.
C. Different means used in human and AI art creation.
D. The drawbacks of drawing from existing art and text.
4. Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph
A. Art is the mirror of life. B. Rome is not built in a day.
C. No man can do two things at once. D. Jack of all trades, master of none.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4. B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了儿童插画家的观点：人工智能创造的艺术不是真正的艺术。
1. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction. (但仔细检查会发现奇怪的地方。我照片中那个女人的脸有非常奇怪的特征，似乎拿着好几本书。而且，虽然看到图像出现时最初会感到兴奋，但没有创造性的满足感)”可推知，作者对他的图像创作不满意。故选C项。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. (从根本上说，艺术就是将你内在感受到的东西转化为外在存在的东西。无论采取何种形式，真正的艺术都关乎创作过程，而不是最终作品。简单地按下一个按钮来生成图像并不是一个创造性的过程)”可知，儿童插画家最看重艺术创作的过程，因为艺术的核心是将内在感受转化为外在存在，真正的艺术更多地关注创作过程而不是最终作品。故选A项。
3. 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy. (除了创造力之外，还有更深层次的问题。为了从提示创建图像，人工智能生成器依赖于已经存在的艺术和文本的数据库。这可能会导致在未经其他艺术家同意的情况下故意模仿其他艺术家风格的图像。有一种观点认为，在受到他人作品的影响时，AI生成器的工作方式与人类没有什么不同，但是，人类艺术家也在混合中添加了情感和细微差别。人工智能不会做同样的事情——它只能复制)”可知，本段主要讲述了人类和人工智能艺术创造中使用的不同手段。故选C项。
4. 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals. (人工智能的日益普及也将导致艺术家作品的贬值。对创意产业已经存在负面偏见。人们会开始认为他们的“作品”与那些以艺术创作为职业的人所创作的作品一样有效。当然，这是无稽之谈。你可以用你的手机给你的女儿拍一张漂亮的照片，但你不是专业人士的对手)”可知，人工智能的使用会使艺术家的作品贬值。人们会认为他们用AI创作的作品和以艺术创作为职业的人的作品有同样的价值。作者认为这是错误的，在最后一句中，作者认为尽管普通人可以创作出漂亮的作品，也比不上专业人士，作者暗示艺术创作需要经过长期的训练。由此可知，B项“Rome is not built in a day. (罗马非一日建成)”意指任何伟大的事物都需要时间和耐心来建立。故选B项。
B
Physical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is essential for an adult. Teaching teens the significance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens make exercise their priority as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity. Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as computer games, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.
Not doing sports increases teens’ hazard of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be prevented by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition(PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activities each week improved their academic performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
5. According to Paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean
A. Making teens attach importance to exercise later.
B. Removing the stress faced by teens at school.
C. Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
D. Helping teens learn to make good plans.
6. What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Wellness. B. Risk. C. Limit. D. Influence.
7. According to the PCFSN, doing sport ________.
A. means making students choose between sports and studies
B. helps students make good use of all their time
C. means students adjust to their new surroundings better
D. helps students do better in their studies
8. What is the text mainly about
A. Why high school students should receive physical education.
B. Why some schools consider physical education important.
C. How schools can help students love doing sports.
D. How high school students can lead a better life.
【答案】5. A 6. B 7. D 8. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了高中生接受体育教育的重要性。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Teaching teens the significance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens make exercise their priority as an adult.(现在教青少年健康生活方式的重要性并制定健身计划可以帮助青少年将锻炼作为成年后的首要任务。)”可知，高中体育教育意味着让青少年在未来重视锻炼。故选A。
6. 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后文“An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems.(积极的生活方式提供了一种很好的方式来避免这些健康问题。)”可知，积极的生活方式可以预防健康问题，再结合画线词前的“increases”和画线词后的“of developing many diseases”可推知，这里表示不运动会增加青少年患许多疾病的风险。hazard意为“风险”，与risk同义。故选B。
7. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition(PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activities each week improved their academic performance.(根据健身、运动和营养总统委员会（PCFSN）的数据，每周进行五小时体育活动的学生提高了他们的学习成绩。)”可知，运动能够帮助提高学习。故选D。
8. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.(但是高中生应该接受体育教育吗？答案当然是肯定的)”可知，本文主要讲了为什么高中生应该接受体育教育，所以A项“为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。”符合题意。故选A。
(II)七选五
Since the old times, art has always been with us. Art has always been very important to people. It shows our feelings, ideas, and what we see around us. From the first simple cave drawings to the latest computer art, the way art has changed is a very interesting part of human history.
9 This was a time when art was really amazing. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo made art that went beyond what was done before. They made beautiful things that also showed a new way of looking at the human body, how things look from different angles, and how light works.
But art is more than just pretty. Art isn’t just about looking nice. 10 In history, artists have used their art to ask questions about how society works, and to show they don’t agree with things. For instance, in times of significant social movements, art on walls and posters became a way for people to show they wanted changes.
Art can make us think and inspire us to do different things. In the 1900s, artists started making abstract art. 11 Artists like Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky used shapes and colors in new ways to make us feel emotions and think about ideas without showing real things.
How art grows also shows how technology gets better over time. 12 Digital art can be anything made with a computer or shown online. It has changed what we think art is. It also lets more people see and make art because you just need a computer to do it.
Art serves as a universal medium for the exchange of ideas, transcending (超越) language and cultural barriers. It allows for a form of communication that is accessible to all. It is away of sharing ideas with everyone. 13
A. Take the oldest art as an example.
B. Take the Renaissance as an example.
C. People can understand it, no matter where they are from.
D. It means they tried to paint a lot of pictures to make a living.
E. This means they didn’t try to paint pictures of things we know.
F. Nowadays, with computers and the Internet, art is changing again.
G. It can also say important things about society and can help change things.
【答案】9. B 10. G 11. E 12. F 13. C
【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了艺术在人类历史、社会、技术等方面的作用和意义，以及艺术如何随着时间和技术的发展而演变。
9. 分析设空，位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“This was a time when art was really amazing. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo made art that went beyond what was done before. They made beautiful things that also showed a new way of looking at the human body, how things look from different angles, and how light works.(这是一个艺术非常神奇的时代。像列奥纳多·达·芬奇和米开朗基罗这样的艺术家创造了超越以往的艺术。他们制作出美丽的东西，也展示了一种观察人体的新方法，从不同的角度观察事物，以及光是如何工作的)”可知，本段在讲述一个艺术非常神奇的时代，列奥纳多·达·芬奇和米开朗基罗是其中代表人物，应是文艺复兴时代，所以B项“Take the Renaissance as an example.(以文艺复兴为例)”符合文意，为本段中心句。故选B项。
10. 根据前文“But art is more than just pretty. Art isn’t just about looking nice.(但是艺术不仅仅是漂亮。艺术不仅仅是看起来漂亮)”以及后文“In history, artists have used their art to ask questions about how society works, and to show they don’t agree with things. For instance, in times of significant social movements, art on walls and posters became a way for people to show they wanted changes.(在历史上，艺术家们用他们的艺术来质疑社会是如何运作的，并表明他们不同意某些事情。例如，在重大的社会运动时期，墙上和海报上的艺术成为人们表达他们想要改变的一种方式)”可知，本段讲述了，艺术还能反映社会的重要情况，所以G项“It can also say important things about society and can help change things.(它也可以反映社会的重要情况，并有助于改变一些事情)”中的also承接上文，并引出下文，符合文意。故选G项。
11. 根据前文“Art can make us think and inspire us to do different things. In the 1900s, artists started making abstract art.(艺术可以让我们思考，激发我们做不同的事情。20世纪初，艺术家们开始创作抽象艺术)”可知，E项“This means they didn’t try to paint pictures of things we know.(这意味着他们没有试图描绘我们所知道的事物)”是对前文抽象艺术的解释，符合文意。故选E项。
12. 根据前文“How art grows also shows how technology gets better over time.(艺术的发展也显示了技术如何随着时间的推移而变得更好)”以及后文“Digital art can be anything made with a computer or shown online. It has changed what we think art is. It also lets more people see and make art because you just need a computer to do it.(数字艺术可以是任何用电脑制作或在网上展示的东西。它改变了我们对艺术的看法。它也让更多的人看到和创作艺术，因为你只需要一台电脑就可以做到)”可知，本段讲述了科技的进步对艺术的影响，尤其是电脑，所以F项“Nowadays, with computers and the Internet, art is changing again.(如今，有了电脑和互联网，艺术又在发生变化)”符合本段主题，承接上文，引出下文。故选F项。
13. 分析设空，位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Art serves as a universal medium for the exchange of ideas, transcending (超越) language and cultural barriers. It allows for a form of communication that is accessible to all. It is away of sharing ideas with everyone.(艺术是一种超越语言和文化障碍的思想交流的普遍媒介。它允许一种所有人都可以访问的通信形式。这是一种与大家分享想法的方式)”可知，本段讲述艺术可以超越语言和文化障碍，让大家无障碍沟通，所以C项“People can understand it, no matter where they are from.(人们可以理解它，不管他们来自哪里)”符合主题，是对前文的总结。故选C项。
(III)语法填空

【答案】1. operation 2. were/are 3. which 4. providing 5. with 6. was invited 7. habits 8. an 9. easier 10. to make
【分析】本篇是记叙文。十一岁的小姑娘Savanna去看望要动心脏手术的老师，这件事引起她对于心脏健康的关注。之后她做了很多事情，希望帮助青少年有一个健康的心脏。
1. 考查词性转换。此处operation是名词形式，作perform的宾语。故填operation。
2. 考查be的适当形式。one in three构成的名词词组作主语时，谓语使用复数形式。因为表达的是事实，也可以不受主句谓语是过去时态的限制，使用were/are。
3. 考查关系代词。此处which是关系代词，引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个句子。故填which。
4. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，___4___(provide) over 300 children and families是伴随状语，动词provide与主句主语Happy Heart Advice之间是主动关系，故要用现在分词作状语。故填providing。
5. 考查介词。此处with与前面的providing构成“provide...with...”短语，意思是“向……提供……”。故填with。
6. 考查被动语态。此处动词invite与句子主语she是被动关系，而且是已经发生的动作，需要使用一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was invited。
7. 考查名词复数。此处habits是名词复数形式，表示泛指。故用habits。
8. 考查冠词。此处是不定冠词an表示泛指，与such连用。at such an early age的意思是“在如此小的年龄”。故填an。
9. 考查形容词比较级。此处暗含着与当前相比较的意味，意思是使得这件事更容易做。故填easier。
10. 考查非谓语动词。此处to make是动词不定式，用作makes的真正宾语，it是形式宾语。故填to make。选择性必修三 Unit 1-Unit 2 重点词汇及短语

IV、练习提升
(I)阅读理解
A
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned tom e showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generator s rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that Al generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
1. What does the writer think of his image creation
A. Exciting. B. Appealing. C. Unsatisfying. D. Shocking.
2. What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A. The creating process. B. The final work. C. Personal feelings. D. External forms.
3. What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. The styles of human artworks and AI ones.
B. Human artists’ influence on AI generators.
C. Different means used in human and AI art creation.
D. The drawbacks of drawing from existing art and text.
4. Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph
A. Art is the mirror of life. B. Rome is not built in a day.
C. No man can do two things at once. D. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Physical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education The answer is certainly “yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is essential for an adult. Teaching teens the significance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens make exercise their priority as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity. Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as computer games, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.
Not doing sports increases teens’ hazard of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be prevented by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition(PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activities each week improved their academic performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.
5. According to Paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean
A. Making teens attach importance to exercise later.
B. Removing the stress faced by teens at school.
C. Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.
D. Helping teens learn to make good plans.
6. What does the underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Wellness. B. Risk. C. Limit. D. Influence.
7. According to the PCFSN, doing sport ________.
A. means making students choose between sports and studies
B. helps students make good use of all their time
C. means students adjust to their new surroundings better
D. helps students do better in their studies
8. What is the text mainly about
A. Why high school students should receive physical education.
B. Why some schools consider physical education important.
C. How schools can help students love doing sports.
D. How high school students can lead a better life.
(II)七选五
Since the old times, art has always been with us. Art has always been very important to people. It shows our feelings, ideas, and what we see around us. From the first simple cave drawings to the latest computer art, the way art has changed is a very interesting part of human history.
9 This was a time when art was really amazing. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo made art that went beyond what was done before. They made beautiful things that also showed a new way of looking at the human body, how things look from different angles, and how light works.
But art is more than just pretty. Art isn’t just about looking nice. 10 In history, artists have used their art to ask questions about how society works, and to show they don’t agree with things. For instance, in times of significant social movements, art on walls and posters became a way for people to show they wanted changes.
Art can make us think and inspire us to do different things. In the 1900s, artists started making abstract art. 11 Artists like Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky used shapes and colors in new ways to make us feel emotions and think about ideas without showing real things.
How art grows also shows how technology gets better over time. 12 Digital art can be anything made with a computer or shown online. It has changed what we think art is. It also lets more people see and make art because you just need a computer to do it.
Art serves as a universal medium for the exchange of ideas, transcending (超越) language and cultural barriers. It allows for a form of communication that is accessible to all. It is away of sharing ideas with everyone. 13
A. Take the oldest art as an example.
B. Take the Renaissance as an example.
C. People can understand it, no matter where they are from.
D. It means they tried to paint a lot of pictures to make a living.
E. This means they didn’t try to paint pictures of things we know.
F. Nowadays, with computers and the Internet, art is changing again.
G. It can also say important things about society and can help change things.
